New blog post is up!!

and it is all about shame!! and why it really doesn't work like we think it does.

Here’s the tough reality: shame doesn’t spark change—it sparks shutdown . And yet, so many of us keep trying to “fix” ourselves through it. It is our default when we have a human moment or do something that someone perceives at “wrong”. As a therapist who works with women navigating bu...

Here are the top 10 books I reccomend to my clients most often!

1. How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis. One of my faves. so easy to read and one that I reread each year and get new takaways.

2. Come as you are by Emily Nagoski. (see my youtube review all about why I love this one!)

3. Burnout (also by the Nagoski sisters). I love them and their language around this topic!

4. Self Compassion by Kristen Neff. I refer ALL my clients to her website and for those who enjoy reading this is my number one suggestion! literally changed my life!!

5. Fair Play by Eve Rodsky- I also suggest the cards that go along with this but omgsh such a great book about the mental load!

6. The Relationship cure by John Gottman- also on my youtube page for why i LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! I use this language with all my friends and even my husband now!

7. The gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. Such a quick read and easy to digest self help book. one of the first ones that really started my healing journey.

8. The Body keeps the score. okay this one is technially a little too therapy for my normal suggestions but much of it is still super empowering for understanding trauma! just skim past the stuff that is boring haha

9. Firece Self Compassion by Kristen Neff- yes my girl gets two because I love self compassion so much.

10. Hold me Tight by Sue Johnson. A great book about attachment and relationships. A little more emotion and experience based than the gottman book so I suggest both!!

What therapy or mental health or growth books do you like?

A lot of summits can be a bit much, with too many sessions and not enough time so you end up missing everything you actually wanted to see.

Which is why I’m really excited to share something different.with you today. It’s called the June Jumpstart Sessions, it’s a completely free event which brings all the value of a regular summit (actually much more) without the overwhelm.

Here’s what makes it different:
💡The presentations are released in themed series (like socials, sales, or systems), with only 8–12 per set
⏰ Each series is available for 72 hours - plenty of time to actually watch and take action
📌 There’s a strong focus on practical, no-fluff strategies
🗓️ You’ll get a full schedule so you can plan what you want to tune into

And unlike regular summits you are strongly encouraged to only dive into the sessions that are relevant to you and ignore all of the other noise!

Whether you want to boost your visibility, streamline your content, sell more or finally nail your systems - there’s a session series for you. This really is shaping up to be the event of the summer so make sure that you don’t miss out.

It has been a minute since I was able to sit down and write a blog post but now that summer is here for me, I can dive back into writing.

First up, a spicy hot take about the word "healthy" and our wellness industry. Perfect timing as we jump into all the summer ads and fads.

Let me know what you think!

Is your summer schedule starting or are you noticing more summer planning chit chat come up? I know I am. Especially on social media surrounding “healthy” meals and bodies and activities to do. Well, you know your girl has some stuff to say about the word “healthy” and how harmful that word ...
